ting of one OF his so-called humorous
articles ON Ishpeming's gold field, and

The Crystal Falls second nine and a
"scrub" nine played u game oil base ball
here last Sunday. The game was very
close and would have resulted in VIC
tory for the scrubs had they made three
more tallies, which they were unable to
do. The score stood thirty-eight To
thirty-six. The game was a very nice
one. Every man in the diamond was a
curve pitcher and n majority OF the spec
tators were umpires, not giving Umpire
Tim Sullivan hall a. chance To display
his great knowledge of the national game.
The second nine will soon send chal-
lenge To the second nine of Florence.
